Our keynote speakers will be Southend-on-Sea Borough Council's new Chief Executive, Alison Griffin and from the private sector a senior management representative of iX Cameras, a locally based company, which design and build world acclaimed high performance and high-speed video cameras – their presentation will include the background to the development and growth of their business arising from being spun out from an international company. Additionally Dawn Jeakings, Chairman of the Business Improvement District, will be talking about delivering town centre and seafront improvements: both achieved and plans for the future. The keynote speakers and representatives from Southend-on-Sea Borough Council will be joining the Q&A panel at the end of the Briefing, allowing you a chance to ask any questions which you may have.
There will also be the opportunity to explore financial challenges and opportunities for your business.
